00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:07.380
The Artemis one mission
is an uncrewed flight test of

2
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:11.640
the Orion spacecraft, placing a
human rated crew vehicle into

3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.050
lunar orbit for the first time
since the Apollo missions. The

4
00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:19.380
mission will showcase the
capabilities of both Orion and

5
00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:23.700
the Space Launch System, or SLS,
NASA's powerful new rocket.

6
00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:27.780
Communication services for the
Artemis I mission are provided

7
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:31.920
by NASA's two major networks,
the Near Space Network and the

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.360
Deep Space Network. For Artemis
I launch the Near Space Network's

9
00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:40.410
launch communication segment
provides critical links with SLS

10
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:43.800
and Orion. The network's
constellation of tracking and

11
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:47.880
data relay satellites, or TDRS,
provides near continuous

12
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.540
communication services to the
mission during ascent and low

13
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:55.080
Earth orbit. As Artemis I
journeys to the Moon, the Deep

14
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:57.420
Space Network acts as the
mission's primary service

15
00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:00.900
provider beyond low-Earth orbit.
With the Near Space Network

16
00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:04.140
providing supplemental
navigation data, the Deep Space

17
00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:06.690
Network will maintain
communications with Orion while

18
00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:10.200
in distant retrograde orbit
around the moon. The network

19
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.320
will also help facilitate
communications for all of the

20
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:17.730
mission's CubeSat deployment
stops. Returning to Earth, Orion

21
00:01:17.730 --> 00:01:20.220
will receive communication
support from the Deep Space

22
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:23.850
Network with assistance from the
Near Space Network's TDRS

23
00:01:23.850 --> 00:01:27.600
constellation. TDRS will be
integral to communications

24
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:30.810
during reentry and splashdown
with NASA search and rescue

25
00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:35.400
technology standing by in case
of contingencies. Artemis I will

26
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.450
begin a new era of lunar
exploration supported by NASA

27
00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:43.710
Space Communications and
Navigation innovation. NASA's

28
00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:47.280
networks are empowering our
sustained return to the Moon as

29
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.560
we set our sights on Mars.
